Yep. He’s actually a very convincing portrait of how and why many women, even educated, relatively privileged women with options, can end up in long-term relationships with abusive men (I like Vince Vaughn’s response to Sack’s demand for Claire to ‘get your fucking ass on the altar right now’: “wow, we’re getting a…

Yes, that relationship had “he’s gonna start hitting you when he drinks, but only after he moves you away from your friends and family for his job, and by the way, why should you work when he makes so much money, and gives you an allowance for groceries and starbucks so you don’t look poor taking the kids to lax…

The attitude that “it couldn’t happen here” is exactly the attitude that lets it happen. Just because other places could be closer to it then us doesn’t mean this country couldn’t slide into it as well. I don’t think it would happen but Handmaidens tale can be a warning of what could happen if we let certain groups…

This is an article about the Handmaid’s Tale that analyzes its inspirations and motivations for existing. Most, if not all art/media has a purpose for existing and I hate to break it to you, but eventually it’s going to connect with the real world, which means people who analyze it for a living are going to write or…

Before it turns into an apocalyptic wasteland of hot takes, I just wanted to say kudos to Caitlin for writing both an interesting review and for pulling absolutely zero punches.

I had a lab who would get very upset if his bandana was removed. If it fell off, he’d bring it to me so I could retie it, then he’d shove his head through the loop and go about his merry way. 

Mr. Pirate’s girth indicates a rich diet, which in the animal world usually indicates a successful hunter - since there’s no accounting for domestication - and therefore possibly good genes. I’m sure he’s a real pussy-magnet among cat-kind. There’s no reason to massage his ego by pretending he’s not a fatass.

I have a suggestion for the next video.

This might not be the hill you want to die on. Kanye wasn’t just “not following in this wave of blind identity politics.” He said slavery was a choice. It’s pretty clear the dude needs to be quiet, because everything out of his mouth is idiotic nonsense.

I recall being 10 or 11 yrs old in 1988 and thinking Dennis Miller was the hippest, coolest, better-than-everyone else comic in town. I felt so nuanced and clever understanding his ridiculous pretentious references to Dali or Deschamps on SNL or his stand up (THE OFF WHITE ALBUM, I owned it on cassette) and thinking…

You mean “Flint still doesn’t have clean water?” Because that was the funniest joke in the whole thing. It’s horribly offensive to think the government would let that happen!

The go-to response for if any infomercial item is good should always be “No”. The expectations should be low so that you can be pleasantly surprised if one doesn’t suck.

“The worst part? All the utterly incompetent one-dimensional stock characters that wandered into my house to gawk at me and feign surprise at how affordable this cheap plastic crap was...”

In a sane world, Colbert would be too ashamed to even bring up his 2006 WHCD performance. It was one of the most awkward, halting comedic performances I’ve ever seen.

Until the WHCA Dinner, I didn’t know who Michelle Wolf was. Now I do. And I’ve marked her debut on Netflix into my calendar. I’m am excited to see her show. Kudos Trump and Republicans. You’ve turned her into an instant success.

What the fuck is even your point? You didn’t give a single example, but you seem pretty self-satisfied.

Yeah, weird how a comedian would tell a joke about something that happened to them, rather than giving a humorless lecture about the banking industry.

Maybe listen to, or look at a transcript of what was actually said before treating us to your performative feminism?

My guess is that what really stuck in the WHCA’s craw is that Wolf deigned to point out how complicit most of the people in that room were in Trump ascending to power, and how they continue to profit off of the shitshow that is his presidency while the world around them still burns (as per her closing remark—that…

You say she embarrassed the WHCA. In the middle of her shtick she said something like Maybe you people should have vetted me better and then she just kept plowing on. If the WHCA people were embarrassed, that’s on them. Remember when Colbert did his thing and people were horrified? If they didn’t know what they were…
